Catalysts that mimic antioxidase enzymes show promise in treating inflammatory diseases, such as gum disease, lupus, or cancer.
4D printing “living” structures inspired by immortal jellyfish
4D printing produces a living polymer network that can be printed into 3D shapes and then broken down into its monomer units for reuse.
Pathogen detection with nanotechnology
Researchers turn to nanotechnology to boost the detection of pathogens, including SARS-CoV-2.
Chien-Shiung Wu, the authority in beta decay
Chien-Shiung Wu was an expert in nuclear physics, making many significant contributions to not only the field, but our understanding of the Universe.
A computing system made from heart cells
A biocomputer built from connected heart cells solves computational problems with high accuracy and at a low computational cost.
Gaucher disease may have provided genetic protection against tuberculosis
The genetic variant that causes Gaucher disease may have helped breakdown tuberculosis-causing bacteria in cells through lipid buildup.
Scientists create cyborg bacteria
Incorporating polymer skeletons inside bacteria stops them from replicating and results in cyborg cells that are half living, half artificial.
Bringing ancient viruses back to life
How seven ancient viruses ranging in age from 27,000 to 48,500 years were recovered from the Siberian permafrost, and what researchers hope to learn from them.
What shapes the lung microbiome?
It is generally accepted that a community of beneficial bacteria make up the lung microbiome, but their origin and formation have remained unclear — until now.
Genetic testing could help identify underlying cause of SIDS
New research finds that more genetic features appear to be linked to sudden unexplained deaths in infants and toddlers.
